CDN provider growth is taking off at an astonishing rate. As more and more companies with an online presence look to boost their website speed affordably, a high performance content delivery network is often one of the first things they look for, meaning CDN providers are seeing unprecedented demand for their services.

The latest big name company to seek a CDN provider to accelerate their online presence is SFR Telecommunications, a leading French telecoms company. They have selected Varnish Software’s Plus and Massive Storage Engine technologies as a backbone for a DIY private content delivery network. By doing this, SFR have been able to reduce their costs and increase content delivery network performance for their many customers, which has in turn resulted in increased profits for the company.

Speaking of the developments, Thierry Magnien, service platforms expert at SFR, said "Varnish Software's core developers have been immediately responsive and have resolved any issues with our Varnish installations and configurations very quickly. We can count on their expertise to help us optimize".

Per Buer, founder and CTO of Varnish Software, also praised the deal, stating, "Varnish Software provides the software, services and know-how to help companies like SFR Telecommunications break away from their existing CDN providers and build their own CDN platform. For SFR, which is a service provider itself, having full control over its CDN platform has helped the company improve the quality of services it provides to its customers while also increasing its bottom line."
